Enlarge / The RetroArch app installed in tvOS. (credit: Andrew Cunningham) [/url] Apple’s initial pitch for the tvOS and the Apple TV as it currently exists was centered around apps. No longer a mere streaming box, the Apple TV would also be a destination for general-purpose software and games, piggybacking off of the iPhone's vibrant app and game library. That never really panned out, and the Apple TV is still mostly a box for streaming TV shows and movies. But the same App Store rule change that recently allowed Delta, PPSSPP, and other retro console emulators onto the iPhone and iPad could also make the Apple TV appeal to people who want a small, efficient, no-fuss console emulator for their TVs. So far, few of the emulators that have made it to the iPhone have been ported to the Apple TV. But earlier this week, the streaming box got an official port of RetroArch, the sprawling collection of emulators that runs on everything from the PlayStation Portable to the Raspberry Pi. RetroArch could be sideloaded onto iOS and tvOS before this, but only using awkward workarounds that took a lot more work and know-how than downloading an app from the App Store.

Devolver Digital is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, and among the celebrations planned for such an event is a massive ***** being held on Steam, as reported earlier today. It is an extremely comprehensive *****, with close to the indie publisher's entire catalog getting notable discounts. In fact, it would actually be easier to list the one Devolver game that's not on *****: Reigns: Beyond, if only because the game's Steam release is the most recent, combined with its low price. But much like adults who can't see why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, those blinded by the massive amount of deals may miss the fact that Devolver appears to be using the ***** itself to tease some future games.

Other than the boost to experience points, Diablo 4 has introduced new and powerful Uniques for our favorite class, Necromancer – yes, I speak for everyone. Here is how to get the Ebonpiercer Necromancer Unique in Diablo 4 and its best build.How to get the Ebonpiercer Unique in Diablo 4As you might expect after reading the title of this article, the Ebonpiercer is an exclusive Unique for the Necromancer class, recently introduced in Season 4: Loot Reborn. Similar to other Uniques, the Ebonpiercer amulet can be dropped by enemies or looted from treasure chests in the game. Since this is a new Ancestral Unique, it will only drop when playing in World Tier 3 or 4, and you can farm it by completing Legions, Nightmare Dungeons, or defeating World Bosses.Image: BlizzardHowever, you can also get the Ebonpiercer if you face and defeat Grigoire, the Galvanic Saint. He is one of the many endgame bosses you can find in the game and, among its loot pool, you will be able to f...View the full article
Delta Emulator is abandoning its current logo for a different, yet-to-be-revealed mark — because Adobe thinks Delta’s stylized letter “D” is a bit too close to its stylized letter “A” for comfort.

The situation unfolded quickly, according to emails Delta creator Riley Testut shared with The Verge: On May 7th, Adobe’s lawyers reached out to Delta with a firm but kindly written request to go find a different icon, an email that didn’t contain an explicit threat or even use the word infringement — it...

The Stellar type was introduced in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet The Indigo Disk to go along with Gen IX’s Terastallization mechanic. One fan theory, however, suggests the unique type was already being hinted at back in Legends: Arceus. Stellar is arguably the weirdest and most complex of the 19 types in the Pokémon franchise, being locked behind Terastallization and having only two moves—Tera Blast and Terapagos’ signature *******, Tera Starstorm. While the Stellar Tera Type does nothing for the user from a defensive standpoint, it makes Tera Blast and Tera Starstorm super-effective against any Terastallized target. Any Pokémon can use the Stellar Tera Type, but it’s mostly marketed toward the Legendary mascot of The Indigo Disk, Terapagos. View the full article

Final Fantasy 14 is adding a major quality-of-life change in Dawntrail, but players should temper their expectations as to what this actually entails. Hotbar bloat is a frequent problem that many MMOs encounter in the course of their lifespan, and Final Fantasy 14 is no exception. There's always an expectation of classes evolving through each subsequent expansion, and as they obtain new skills and abilities, it can be difficult to find that extra hotbar room, especially for Xbox and Playstation players.

Enlarge / Valve has its own canon of games full of artifacts and concepts worth emulating, as seen in a 2018 tour of its offices. (credit: Sam Machkovech) [/url] "Basically, fast-paced interesting ADHD gameplay. Combination of Dota 2, Team Fortress 2, Overwatch, Valorant, Smite, Orcs Must ****." That's how notable Valve leaker "Gabe Follower" describes Deadlock, a Valve game that is seemingly in playtesting at the moment, for which a few screenshots have leaked out. The game has been known as "Neon Prime" and "Citadel" at prior points. It's a "Competitive third-person hero-based shooter," with six-on-six battles across a map with four "lanes." That allows for some of the "Tower defense mechanics" mentioned by Gabe Follower, along with "fast travel using floating rails, similar to Bioshock Infinite." The maps reference a "modern steampunk ********* city (little bit like Half-Life)," after "bad feedback" about a sci-fi theme pushed the development team toward fantasy.

Image: Tyler McVicker Valve’s next game appears to be a multiplayer hero shooter known as Deadlock. This is according to leaks from playtesters posted on social media earlier today, with some of the details verified by known Valve data miner Tyler McVicker. “Since testers started sharing Deadlock screenshots all over the place, here’s ones I can verify, featuring one of the heroes called Grey Talon,” McVicker posted on X. The post included four screenshots allegedly from the game, which features characters (one of which looks like the ******* from Team Fortress 2) battling in a city map that seems reminiscent of Half-Life 2’s City 17. Another image shows a hero named Grey Talon and includes the character’s ******* and ability icons with a short description. S... Continue reading… View the full article
For the latest season of Diablo 4 Loot Reborn, running into high-end gear such as uniques and legendaries seems to be common now.

Elden Ring developer FromSoftware has teased another gruesome foe ahead of the release of its highly anticipated DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, next month. An image of the ******, a gold-faced, long-haired being with bladed disc-like weapons, was shared on the official Elden Ring X (formerly Twitter) account. Story details about how the unnamed creature fits into the wider world of Elden Ring were not revealed, leaving players to guess how it may play a part. “Fearsome foes of unfathomable power await you in the Realm of Shadow,” the post says. Fearsome foes of unfathomable power await you in the Realm of Shadow. #EldenRing #ShadowoftheErdtree [Hidden Content] — ELDEN RING (@ELDENRING) May 17, 2024 Players speculate that the hunched, golden-dress-wearing ****** may be one of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree’s new bosses. Some have gone as far as to guess that the creature may be related to Godwyn the Golden, as they share a similar scar on their back. The ****** also features the same, twisted Omen horns as Mohg and Morgott, Godwyn’s brothers. It’s hard to guess exactly how the mysterious ****** fits into Elden Ring lore without playing Shadow of the Erdtree for ourselves, but some theories do have us scratching our heads. There have also, of course, been plenty of fans pointing out that the image FromSoftware shared looks undeniably like a *******. Secobd phase of this ******?

So right away, this whole argument comes with a big caveat, one that needs to be made clear immediately and up top: despite hints, rumors, speculation, and even some leaked screenshots, there's no saying for sure that Deadlock, supposedly a 6v6 competitive FPS in the vein of Overwatch, really is the next game from Valve. Similarly, we don't know what Deadlock actually plays like or is like - even if it exists. And so, this article continues based on two assumptions. First, Deadlock will be the next game from Valve. Second, it's exactly the kind of game that everything we've seen and heard about it so far would suggest, a hero-based PvP shooter akin to familiar tentpole releases from Blizzard, Riot, and Respawn. What follows are my personal concerns - or rather, disappointments - but also some hopes, if those presumptions turn out to be correct. Read the rest of the story...
